 About this Collection of Vintage Trains. These trains are owned by an elderly gentleman, and were all originally purchased by his father and grandfather. They are all owned by the same family, whose children and adults played with these trains often. The trains have been generally well-maintained, and have been in storage since about 1974. The owner’s mother individually wrapped each piece, and they remained in careful storage containers until I opened then in 2023. These trains are not garage sale or yard sale finds, but a collection of family heirlooms.

The Collection includes Locomotives, Passenger Cars, Freight Cars, and Accessories manufactured by Ives and Lionel. Most are prewar, made between 1910 and 1942. Most are Standard (wide) gauge, and some are O Gauge. There are some pieces from the early post-war period.
